I know I say "this one is my favourite" or "this one is so fun to wear" a lot. But it's true. I can't help it if I like what I wear! I have this theory--if I wear enough red with this wig, people may actually think my hair is red. It worked too, on some people! Others said that it is a very good color for me. <3
Wigs can be very tricky. Often they don't look very realistic. One good, easy way to "hide" the fact that it's a wig, is to wear a cute hat. Key word here is "cute"! I suppose a baseball cap might work, but it seems rather pointless to have a head of full, lustrous curls, and throw a baseball hat on over it. *shudder*
If you're going to wear a wig, however, it's important to consider when and where you're doing it. For example, work is not the place to wear your long, blue wig. Nobody wants to look down at their salad, and see that there's a long bit of blue-something in it.
Not surprisingly, people who don't wear wigs often are reluctant to do it, no matter how fun it may seem. That's understandable! It's a big jump out of ones comfort zone--I know sometimes when I'm walking around campus, I wonder what people must think about me. I'll get paranoid, and start thinking that the athletic-looking guys behind me are laughing at me, rather than the bike that got chained upside down to a tree...
So be prepared. If you're going to wear a wig, accept the fact that you WILL get come comments on it, and some of them might be unfavourable. Don't let me scare you though--I've never gotten anything but compliments on my wigs.
Two more quick notes about wigs--they're hot, so if you're going to sweat, DON'T WEAR THE WIG. And the other? They're itchy!
Oh, and all that nonsense about being unhygienic? Well, it's mostly nonsense. You're an intelligent individual, don't buy your wig from some sketchy place. None of mine are made from real hair, so synthetic wigs are a perfectly fine option too. And often much more affordable.
